I started the original thread that turned into a political shitstorm. I have really grown to like ARMOUR, but I agree with the general opinion about the ballad._________________THINGS THAT WILL BE DELETED:

The music for Armour is good. I traded away the original demo CD, so I might pick up the NWN! release.

Thing is though, these retro style bands seem more like novelty acts. Novelty wears off and one week it's cool and fresh, the next week it just seems silly.

The Portrait full-length is BORING. No memorable riffs or anything, weak production. The demo and 7" was much better.

However, RAM from Sweden are fucking great. They seem like the only new HM band that's going to have longevity. I can't wait for their new one.

Wow I don't agree at all! I thought there were SO MANY riffs that just stuck with me. And I can't help but sing along to Hell whenever it starts. It's a wicked LP._________________bands:
